       studies . installation view by  Mario Saba  done in Lebanon-Tripoli in may 2004

                               in the international expo center of Tripoli ( outstanding project by the

                               architect Oscar Niemeyer, never accomplished  since the 1970

                               and the Lebanese war wasn't the raison................................. 

                               . The materials used in this installation are the files of the UNESCO's studies concerning very important issues, issues to develop or to modify or to improve, like the civil rights of the Lebanese youth, woman….. The economical situation, like working hours, loans………the educational programs, the freedom of expression, the religions….etc.
Theses studies, has coast money, efforts, and time. Studies that we found a great difficulties to find , even in the archives , so you don’t need me to tell you , that we didn’t find or you can’t find any traces or effects of theses studies in the real live (on the ground)…so what we did ? it’s simple, we used some headlines to expose on the floor , we used the other papers (the usual bla bla bla ) as a background for the headlines on the floor, and we covered it by Plexiglas’s shits , and we used these papers also as a background for some caricatures (by Saad Hajo from Assafir a Lebanese news paper) on the walls, and we putted the rest of it in a new archive( what you see in the corner of our installation).
